Abstract: Ralstonia solanacearum is a soilborne Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, infecting more than 200 species belonging to more than 50 botanical families, including Solanaceae economic crops such as potatoes, tobacco and tomato, cause to serious loss of their yield and quality. R. solanacearum is a complex species, this paper reviewed the research progress of classification in the R. solanacearum, including the races, biovars and phylotypes, and the different type schemes were compared, which povide phylotype information for the analysis of the composition and genetic diversity of the tobacco R. solanacearum, for the study the interaction between tobacco and R. solanacearum.

Key words: Ralstonia solanacearum, Bacterial wilt Race Biovar, Phylotype
